Approximate Decimal Values (Or) Exact Fractional Values :: What to use in Calculations?
In calculations, where we come across fractions, we many a times use their approximate decimal equivalents (Say we use Rs. 2.67 in place of Rs. 8/3).
Where you have used such approximate decimal equivalents, you need to understand that there would be slight variation in the answer arrived at. This would be crucial in this topic, where you are trying to verify the variances using the inter relationships among the variances. In such cases, slight adjustments would have to be made to arrive at the correct conclusion. To avoid such occurances, you can use the fractions themselves in calculations, instead of their approximate decimal equivalents. One another way the need for adjustment may be avoided is by using large number of digits after the decimal.
